anyone know of a good frame painter that can do designs?

I love my 2007 tarmac design but was wondering how much it would cost to get repainted to match team kits.

Thanks

I'm not sure if they do designs, but if you want a powder coat, I hear good things about Olympic Powder Coating in Santa Ana.

I've had two bikes done by them, good work at a good price.

I'm looking for a good frame painter that will help with restoration project for a couple of mid-80's vintage frames (De Rosa and Pinarello). I'd prefer someone who can help me match original factory colors. No powdercoat. One frame has a botched paint job, another has some rust. L.A. or Orange County.

None better then Joe Bell, he's not in LA or Orange county he's down in San Diego. Cyclart used to be in OC? I see they are down south now http://www.cyclart.com/ JOE BELL http://campyonly.com/joebell.html

As far as I know, he's always been in San Diego.

He's great with restorative work, but he could really use some help with his design work.

You can see his price list at http://www.campyonly.com/joebell/price_list.html

I saw a refinished Gios from Cyclart a few weeks ago. Beautiful job but IIRC the owner said it took 6 months.
